RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: Power BI connecting to an AS/400

Thanks for the reply Jim

Yes - it’s the iSeries
You say -
For more modern connections I would imagine you would us the newest ODBC or OLE connector provided in ACS.

Okay - but I have NO idea what to do
Is there some documentation available somewhere?

Alan: Assuming you’re using AS/400 on purpose (as opposed to IBM i) was
version? I think way back the the only option was ODBC. I doubt
today’s ODBC drivers would work, so you’ll have to dig up an old copy of client access.

For more modern connections I would imagine you would us the newest ODBC or OLE connector provided in ACS.

Is that not working for you?

Hi everyone
Is anyone using Power BI connected to an AS/400?
If so, are you able/willing to share how you managed to connect to the
AS/400?

We are on V7r3
